    So, a few things. It is claimed it has been 1.2 million since the beginning of covid, not 1.3. But what about the numbers being pumped up? Just because someone died AND had covid doesn’t necessarily mean they died from covid, but that’s what they were doing. That was a fact. It’s just a matter of how many.

    I’d wager the deaths were easily under a million. Anyway, the point is…

      If you died of a heart attack that was due to inflammation caused by COVID then you died because of COVID… If you didn’t get sick you wouldn’t have died. Generally when people died of a disease like that it was because of a knock on effect. People dying of the flu don’t die of the flu, they die of pneumonia that was caused by the flu. If you didn’t get the flu you wouldn’t have had pneumonia. The flu is a virus and pneumonia is a bacterial infection that only thrives because of the damage caused by the flu.

      Just because someone survived a covid infection AND died 6 months later doesn’t necessarily mean they survived covid, but that’s what they were doing. That was a fact. It’s just a matter of how many.

      Patients’ bodies and lives were ruined by covid, but they technically “survived” long enough to test negative.

      Their heart, brain, and/or lungs never fully recovered. They never returned to their original body weight. Many of them never even got out of bed again.

      They died slow, agonizing deaths, in isolated wards.

      Many of them never understood why.

      Many of their doctors would list their cause of death as “heart failure” or “stroke”.

      That was a fact.

      It’s just a matter of how many.

      Ok, so if I shoot you and the bullet passed clean through you, I would not be responsible for your death when you bleed out?

      I mean the bullet did not stay in your body, when the doctors xrayed you during the autopsy, you were shown to be a healthy person without a bullet inside your body, so clearly you did not die from being shot.

      This is just your covid logic drawn to the extreme, you claim that people didn’t die of covid since they technically didn’t have any covid infection when they died.
